Learned a lot in a short time. Very well organised presentation and easy to watch. Thank you.

Thanks for the help! I'm restoring a bike and I had no idea what I was doing when it came to Polishing

This is really educational, Thanks and I will look up your company on line

Great to see Mark Nelson! I always enjoyed and learned so much from his segments on Beads, Baubles & Jewels

Thank you so much! I bought 1inch stiff yellow buffs but they leave marks like railroads

Excellent informative video, very well presented and explained; many thanks

Thank you. This helped me out a lot.

thanks for the overview.. I learned from this

This is really helpful

Great video. What did you wash the zam residue off with please. Greetings from England 👍

This may seem/be off-topic, but I watched this trying to learn general buffing principles for my project of shining alabaster lampshades. I’m very low tech, and used this strategy. I bought Renaissance microcrystalline wax and rubbed it onto the (dull, ill-maintained alabaster, which I’d bought on eBay); then I attached a fabric (cotton?) buffing wheel (it came with an adapter) to a drill and buffed it with “medium” RPM (can’t estimate a number). It seemed to work and I did this 3 times on each shade. My question is: does this cause wax to accumulate in the fabric buffing wheel? Will this reduce efficacy as wax is absorbed into the fabric? Should I replace after a number of uses, or should I assume that if the fabric isn’t worn out, it’s doing the same job as when it was new? Thanks so much for any information! Fascinating video, enjoyable to learn about this process. But also wondering whether different fabrics would make a difference in my Alabaster project. If you have any experience with microcrystalline wax, is is supposed to leave a thin film after buffing, or is that a sign I used too much wax or didn’t buff enough? Thanks so much for any information, so very deeply appreciated!!!

Thank you!

Yeah real good I learned a lot thank you. cheers from Tasmania

Do you have any tips, or a video on. how to remove a buff that is stuck on your wheel?

Ultimate one !!!!👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Fantastic video thank you!

How does bobbing compound compare with black luxi polishing compound -- they sound like they do the samw job? Why use one over the other?

Would you suggest Zam for steel?

Thank you! Very informative. I just started polishing, and after putting the wheel on, when I turned the grinder on, it was out of balance really bad, and was very difficult to use. Can it be balanced? Or is it poor quality, and needs to be thrown away?

I wish I could have a private lesson on how to do what I want to do. 😆 I am trying to renovate paraffin heaters and of course they are rusty and the paint is messed up. But I don't really need to make them shiny? The shiny parts are the brass bits inside used to make the tanks and burners, those shine up nicely without much effort. Anyway, there is a very steep learning curve in doing all this, and quite an investment in equipment. Your video was very informative, and I learned many new things, though. Thanks dude!

What are the treatments in/on the treated buffs? What are they for? As in, why would I choose (treated or untreated); one over another? It is VERY helpful to hear things like: "I am choosing XXX buff because I want XXX result, or I am not going to use XXXX buff because XXX will happen and I don't (or do) want result XXX. Those kinds of statements are super helpful. The whole "you can choose" is great, but it's too ambiguous, we need how's and why's; buying them all and figuring out what we like best is hazardous to the wallet. Leadership is so great in the learning process. Thank you, Mark. P.S. Mark, you have gorgeous hands, do you do men's jewelry (or any hand product) hand modeling? You sure could.

hi how do you price it for polishing metal?

Hi Mark, Can you get similar results from a flex shaft or to get deep polishing do you really need to get a larger machine? Thanks!

The harber freight ones fray all over the place any brand you recvomend?

Please what is best wheel to remove scratches on glasses?

Hi! I have a few questions. Did you put any compound on the yellow wheel? Also im wondering if we need to change wheels for different types of metals? or can I use the same wheel for silver/copper? Or do I need different wheels as well?

Does the size of the buff matter for different steps or projects? I know the linear speed will be different with different size buffs.

Nice

how can one polish detailed and intricate pieces on such a buffing machine? or is it best left for a flexshaft?

Very interesting and useful. Does anybody know at what speed (rpm) the wheel rotates in this video?

Hi Mark - I have a couple of buffing wheels that got cross contaminated with both tripoli / rouge. Is there any way to clean them so that I can use them going forward...?? Thanks! -

Do you sell they buffer?

What do you use to clean the compound off?

What would you recommend for buffing stainless steel? What buffing wheel and compound to use to get it from flat looking to shiny?

What was the name of the first compound you used for the yellow treated buff ?

Im a gOod pOlisher can i work w/ you

You said you used a bobbing compound, but the buff says Blue Luxi. It doesn't look like blue Luxi, what did you use?

Sir, can i know all stuff of polish, from where and which i should buy?, buff machine ,box, how much rounds of machine etc ?

One pix price

Please help me lol. I’m trying to figure out what the wheels I have on my grinder are. They are white they are not felt they are not piece of sound together they have the same feel and consistency of like rough leather they’re about 10 inches around and 3 inches wide they go on a Baldor grinder buffer. They do a great job on steel and stainless steel I use it to deburr and polish areas. I’ve never needed any kind of polishing compound with it they are not soft like felt they are firmer almost like silicone. I cannot find these anywhere and there are no distinguishing marks or riding on the wheel. Please help me

how much will a machine and buff cost in indian currency

Is there a buffing wheel that doesn’t shed all over the place? I’ve dressed my wheels several times and they still shed

I'm in the midst of learning how to make grillz and I'm curious whether or not it would be more beneficial or easier to use a polishing wheel, or if I should try and use a flex shaft?

You don't mention felt buffing wheels. Can you tell me a little bit why felt is used and what it is used primarily for?

Bobbing Compound - AKA Tripoli in case anyone was wondering. = 800-1000 grit

weird that you switched objects betwen the 1 and 2 stage. would like to see something larger like a knife or and axe. I want to learn how to take an old axe and polish the edges

Very calming speaker.. very informative.. (I wonder if at night you let that mane down to some Metallica ;)

I can't get my buffing wheel off my spindle. Help!
